I got on the mailing list for Columbia Theological Seminary (Flash required; bad bad bad!) of Decatur, Georgia more than a decade ago when I was looking for a theological school, and bless their hearts they’ve followed me for seven addresses since.
Now they’re publishing a rather interesting looking online magazine called @ This Point which, [...]
OK, so you’re not giving up your black gown and you’re hot as blazes in your un-air-conditioned church? Wear the gown open. Wear it over street clothes: no stole, no collar, no bands, no hood. That way, if you begin to swoon you can shuck it unobtrusively. (I have a couple a time.) And demand [...]
I am watching a show on CMT, called Twenty Greatest Country Comedy Shows while making some crunchy-granola vegetarian blue-state chick pea dish. Why? Because John Schneider is hosting it, that’s why: do you need me to spell it out? (But funny, because I was more of a Tom Wopat fan.) I realized I had been [...]
PeaceBang has been promoting the alb as a solution for heat-stroke in the pulpit, but I can’t agree so I’m back to opining what ministers ought to wear.

Sometimes Manfred Klein makes really good typefaces, and some are not so good. Some are great for German, and so-so for English. I use bunches — in part because his licensing is so loose that you can use them without worry — including the one that makes the nameplate above. Until recently, I’ve stuck to [...]
No, PeaceBang, this isn’t my reply yet — still researching it — but I ran across the comment by dear Hank, where he said:
What our pal Unity and i are trying to get our hands on are Parson hats, you know those round flat hats that preachers always wear in cowboy movies and as soon [...]
Ages ago, I said I would work on some ideas for remembering the dead when no physical remains could be found. This weekend seems a good time to pick that back up, and let’s begin with the catafalque.

Of all the vestment makers out there, I think Wippell’s is my favorite. (Not that I have any of their gear, but the Boy can dream.) They’ve had a website for ages: a backwards, nearly useless website. At last they’ve gotten parts of their catalog scanned and up as PDF files. (But as always, no [...]
Summer is coming and heat with it. In the South, there’s a custom of turning out the lights to feel cooler. But it is more than a feeling: nearly all the power going into a standard incandescent light bulb exits as heat. That’s a double energy whammy in lost light and lost cool air. [...]
